The Work of the Cambridge Five

The Cambridge Five were a group of five British spies active during the mid-20th century who secretly provided important information to the Soviet Union. They were recruited at Cambridge University and held influential positions in the UK government, military, and intelligence services. Their espionage aimed to advance Soviet interests during the Cold War, leaking details about Western military plans and technology. Their activities only came to light years later, revealing a significant breach of trust and impacting intelligence operations between the UK and its allies.
